It’s been nine long (very long!) years since we last spent time in Stars Hollow — and we’ve got so many questions. Do Luke and Lorelai live happily ever after? Does #TeamJess emerge victorious over #TeamLogan, or are we in for a #TeamDean plot twist? How many jobs has Kirk held since 2007 that we don’t know about?!?!

It’s time to laugh, cry and, in true Gilmore fashion, stuff ourselves with food until we can’t move. And in honor of the show truly made for binge-watching and binge-eating alike, we’re reminiscing about every iconic Gilmore food moment that makes us smile — and offering advice on how to serve some of the foods yourself.

Corned Beef & Pastrami Sandwiches

When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. And when life derails a freight train full of pickles in your town, you make corned beef and pastrami sandwiches. There’s no finer nosh for an evening where the wind whispers “garlic dill.”

The Rory Cocktail

There’s only one cocktail to toast this revival with — the signature drink Emily created for Rory’s 21st-birthday fete. Shake up some vodka, pineapple juice and grenadine, then top with some champagne and a maraschino cherry. As Luke says, “It tastes like a My Little Pony.” Which is maybe not such a bad thing, after all.

Pop-Tarts (Party Style!)

There’s no time of day where Pop-Tarts aren’t a good idea (says the Gilmore creed), and they make a great dessert for a crowd. Layer whipped cream, vanilla pudding and your favorite Pop-Tarts in a 9-by-13-inch cake pan and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, it will be the most-amazing icebox cake you’ve ever made. Serve with lots of sprinkles, because it’s only logical.

Magic Risotto

Sookie’s magic risotto isn’t just good — it’s brought people back from the brink of death. True story! Sookie managed to add three years to her mother’s life with this dish, so technically it’s a superfood.

Mock Turtle Soup

When Gilmore patriarch Richard’s mother died, he wanted nothing but a bowl of her “turtleneck soup” to comfort him. Sadly, Edward Herrmann (the actor who played Richard), passed away in 2014, and his character’s death will be a major plot point in the revival. So we, too, will be comforting ourselves with mock turtle soup, undoubtedly sobbing into our bowls.

Santa Burger

Burgers taste better when they look like people, and there’s no better person than Santa Claus. Luke knows this to be true, and of course, we agree.

Deviled Eggs

“Take the deviled eggs!” the baby-shower hostess insisted. Rory and Lorelai might have used them to egg Jess’ car, but we’d probably throw one and eat the rest.

It’s a good idea when catering a party for adults. It’s a terrible, terrible idea for a party for children. Learn from Sookie’s mistakes.

Weston’s Candy Cane Coffee

Downing 17 cups of coffee during a Gilmore Girls binge could totally happen. Throw a festive curveball into one of those cups by adding a candy cane, just like they do at Weston’s Bakery. Perfect for a day when the air smells like snow.

Dessert Sushi

Lorelai believed that this invention would earn her her first million. And with ideas like “Tootsie Roll-marshmallow-Twizzler rolls” and “Butterfinger-Junior Mint-chocolate chip-Jujube rolls,” we can see her point. Don’t forget to serve with Red Hots, aka “dessert wasabi.”

Devil’s Starchy Fingers

Mrs. Kim, mother of Lane and health food nut, may have vocally disapproved of french fries, but feasting on a gigantic plate of them is most definitely Lorelai- and Rory-approved. And since it’s Gilmore Girls and not Mrs. Kim Girls, you won’t feel the least bit guilty eating a pound or two.
